	Mukti Bahini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest move towards forming the liberation army came from the declaration of independence made by Major Ziaur Rahman of East Bengal Regiment on behalf of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
		In the declaration made from Kalurghat Betar Kendra (Chittagong) on March 27, 1971, Zia assumed the title of "provisional commander in chief of the Bangladesh Liberation Army", though his area of operation remained confined to Chittagong and Noakhali areas.
		Major Ziaur Rahman's declaration on behalf of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman marked a break with Pakistan by the army.

		According to that decision I, on behalf of Bangabandhu, declared independence from the Kalurghat transmission centre.
		After that there was no contact between the Awami League leaders and Major Zia, who went to Kalurghat on March 27 and having access to the radio transmission centre made a ‘Declaration of Independence’ on his own behalf –– a declaration in which he happened to style himself as the president of the country!
